You'll determine your characters' abilities, attributes, weaknesses, origin and back stories. Complete character profile views and concept art. You will talk about and explore the importance of villains and antagonists. Students will then explore the details of the "back story", and the future outcomes of their potential stories. They will complete the concept art for the supporting cast of the lead character, as well as complete the concept art for the villains and their supporting cast. They will explore the importance of characters that can support the heros and villains, yet have lives of their own.
